Electronics Firmware Engineer information

What is the difference between Electronics Firmware Engineer vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectElectronics Firmware EngineerEmbedded Software Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; certifications like Certified Firmware EngineerBachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related; similar certifications
Work EnvironmentDesigning firmware for hardware devices, working closely with hardware teamsDeveloping software for embedded systems, often in real-time environments
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, industrial equipment, IoT devicesAutomotive, medical devices, consumer electronics

Electronics Firmware Engineers focus on developing low-level code that interacts directly with hardware components, often working on microcontrollers and embedded systems. Embedded Software Engineers also develop code for embedded systems but may work on higher-level software layers. Both roles require similar skills and certifications, but their focus areas and typical applications differ slightly.

  • Proves design concepts through a combination of computer simulation and physical laboratory implementation/testing
  • Develops automated test cases for Hardware-In-Loop modelling/Testing (preferable)
  • Remains abreast of the latest technology in Digital control/Controllers
  • Writing lean code for real-time interrupt-driven applications
  • Proficient in understanding the schematics and debugging hardware issues
  • Understanding Safety regulatory requirements in power converters for use with fast chargers
 Required Skills
  • 5+ years of proven experience developing Power Electronics products
  • 5+ years of programming experience in C/C++, Assembly for 32-bit controllers, DSP's and Python for scripting and automation
  • Experience Implementing Control code for Power Converters (without using a code generation tool)
  • Firmware Development: Solid working experience in developing embedded firmware using programming languages such as C/C++ for real-time systems
  • Power Electronics Knowledge: Strong understanding of power electronics principles, including control techniques for inverters, rectifiers, and dc-dc converters [LLC, CLLC, DAB, etc.]
    • Experience working with Grid-tie inverter systems (Solar, BESS, EVSE, etc.)
    • Hands-on high-power lab working experience, and able to debug hardware issues related to firmware functions in the power converter
  • Microcontroller and Peripherals: Proficiency in programming microcontrollers, utilising various peripherals such as timers, PWM, interrupts, GPIOs, ADC, UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, and Ethernet
  • Experience with version control systems, such as Git, SVN, etc.
